My Baby

My doodle bug, My honey bun, My sweet little boy, He’s my motivation To not live as An addict anymore. I’ve held onto my pain, Too tightly, For too long, It’s time to let the pain end So the hope can begin. My child, Hold on, The pain ends. Let my child know His momma’s love, No more distance, No more disappointment, No more questions Whether or not Momma’s going to be there When you wake up. Let my wee one know, Momma is sorry. Let his forgiveness wash over me, So I can forgive myself. My motivation is knowing that He’s worth more than, Stolen happiness, Why’s not answered And abandonment. He deserves his momma Right there By his side, Every second, Of every day. This addiction of mine, Won’t steal his sunshine anymore, I promise.
